Dancing Lights Return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios Tonight

Attachment 9837

This annual display of holiday cheer, which features millions of dazzling lights, will return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios tonight.

From now until January 7, 2012, the cityscape and building facades in the park’s Backlot area will be draped in multicolored lights that periodically “dance” to holiday tunes.

In addition to the buildings, the area will also feature illuminated carousels, angels, Santa Claus and other figures. (The spectacle will not be operational on Dec. 8).

This offering actually began in 1986 in Arkansas, at the home of businessman Jennings Osborne, who strung 1,000 lights as a Christmas gift to his daughter. The exhibit was transported to Disney in 1995 and is a popular holiday draw for many guests.

Wow, this is exciting...can't wait to see them! So glad they will still be up when we get there.

Thanks Wendy

They are magical :yes: I didn't want to go, I stood there for ages just looking at them and listening to the music :sigh:

Was it snowing then? That is always so weird to see.

It doesn't "snow" all the time, but it really is wonderful with the lights and the music when it does "snow"

Even though we are not fans of DHS as a rule, we love going to this spectacle of lights. It is pretty intense and amazing! It's really, really neat when it snows! :yes: '

One year, when we were there and it was snowing it was cold. The boy was a little one still complete with blanket and winter hat... memories that are forever imprinted, thanks to Disney. :yes:

We were also there one year when the Osborne family kicked off the grand opening. It was pretty neat!

I love the lights, together with the music and the smells its just magical :yes:

Theres a piece of music they play there that i love but i dont know what its called - i think its also in one of the home alone films? :unsure:
